Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, was contacted in 1935 by a mother worried about her son’s apparent homosexuality. Freud – who believed that all humans are attracted to both sexes in some capacity – wrote the following letter in response. The letter was later passed on to Alfred Kinsey and reproduced in The American Journal of Psychiatry in 1951, hence the attached note.
